Public Comment Period for 2025-2026 Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat Season Proposals Now Open, deadline Jan. 9

Open houses will be held in each region for hunters to weigh in on the season-setting process.

Idaho Fish and Game is gathering public input on the 2025-2026 moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat season proposals, and the comment period will run through Jan. 9, 2025 at 6 p.m. Proposals can be found at idfg.idaho.gov/comment.

Review the proposals and submit comments

Moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat seasons will be finalized by the Fish and Game Commission during its Jan. 29 meeting in Boise. The application period for moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat controlled hunts runs April 1-30.

The public comment process will also include open houses hosted at Fish and Game’s regional offices and other venues at the times and dates listed below. Staff at some regions will host a meeting and provide an overview of their proposals, while others will hold office hours where people can stop in and talk to a biologist during that time.
